What is a Chakra?

Learning what is a chakra can be very useful in learning to become psychic. A chakra is an energy center within the body. There are seven chakras running up the spine with the top most sitting just above the top of the head.

Each chakra is like a small spinning ball of energy about the size of a golf ball or just a little smaller. By taking the time through meditation practice it’s entirely possible to feel and perceive the chakras.

And the bonus part about working with chakras, much like all of learning to be psychic, is that even if you just pretend to know where they are and what they feel like that will also strengthen and develop the availability to the chakra energy.

Chakras and Psychic Abilities

By simply putting your attention on each chakra for just 5 minutes per day you will begin to notice your attention, awareness and intuition greatly increasing. This will be especially true in the areas of attention that correspond to the specific chakra.

What is a chakra as an example.  The energy center located just above the sexual organs corresponds to the energy of sexuality, the energy of creation and manifesting as well as the emotions of joy and enthusiasm.

When we take just a few minutes each day to quietly bring our attention to the “Sacral” chakra, you will begin to notice that your emotions will start to change. In the first several weeks this feeling may be subtle at first but with continued practice you will notice that you will begin to “even out” emotionally. 

With continued practice on this center, you will find that it will be easier to get things done that you set out to accomplish. This is the energy of creation and manifestation.

In advanced stages of development on this energy center, you will be able to affect emotional and energy healing in others. This is when the energy has been healed within the body and now is able to extend past your own physicality to affect the energy of the other person.


Seven Chakras, Seven Layers

There are seven main chakras in the body. Each chakra has it’s own main energetic purpose and function. At the same time, within the chakra are layers that correspond to each of the other seven chakras.

In actuality, there are many more chakras within the body and each of these has a layer that's represented.  But "keeping it simple" definitely applies here.

By focusing on just the seven main chakras well can exponentially increase our overall well-being, happiness and psychic intuition abilities.

To carry our example forward, the Sacral chakra is centered above the sexual organs. The chakra itself also has layers of all the other chakras. 

So within the energy center of sexuality, emotions and relationships there is also a layer of love, compassion and caring, which is the energy of the Heart chakra.

The importance of what is a chakra is that some teachings only focus on specific energy center meditations. And while these are excellent for achieving specific results, a balanced practice of developing all seven chakras will produce an overall well-being and the ability to effectively utilize the psychic skills that come as a result.
